Job Description: 

Do Something Wonderful!

Intel put the Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is this obsessed with engineering a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.

Who We Are

We are DDR/MCDDR Server Memory IO IP design team, within Intel’s Data center and AI group (DCAI), specializing in delivering innovative, custom bult, high performance, low power DDR/MCDDR PHY for Intel Xeon product line 

Who You Are

We are looking for an Analog Design Engineer to contribute towards NextGen Data center Memory IO Design for Intel's High-Performance Data Center Microprocessors.

Responsibilities will include but not limited to:

• Technology path finding, specification, and design of complex analog and mixed signal circuits, custom analog layout supervision, documentation, DFT/DFM and post silicon validation.

• Analog circuit design responsibilities consist of high speed IO (HSIO) transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx), amplifiers (Op-Amps), equalizers (CTLE, DFE), filters, high performance low-jitter clocking, on-die voltage regulators (LDO) and references (BGR), signal integrity analysis, system level modeling, power delivery, supply noise sensitivity reduction (Bias generation and distribution), feedback loop analysis, stability, compensation, poles-zeros and other elements necessary to design, verify and productize high performance analog IO solutions.

• Additional responsibilities include collaborating with other design disciplines, and contributing to design reviews. Be creative, accountable, and quick to make good decisions.

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position.
